Fast Track Custody Appeal

What is a Fast Track Custody Appeal?

Fast Track Custody Appeals are explained under the Nevada Rules of Appellate Procedure, Rule 3E. A Fast Track Custody Appeal is intended to speed up the time it takes to complete a custody appeal. Fast Track Custody Appeals can be sought any time a final custody order has been made at court.

Fast Track Custody Appeals are based entirely upon written documents – the Nevada Supreme Court does not hold a hearing to decide an appeal. Because there is no court between the family court and the Nevada Supreme Court, all custody appeals go directly to the Nevada Supreme Court.
